I have never heard of that and it is interesting.
Maybe this provides an explanation of Rawnley's Bowerbird, which is a hybrid
between the two species. If a female attends a bower to mate with one bird and
is taken over by the other species. See the latest Australian Field Ornithology
22 (2): 53-57 for a recent occurrence of such a hybrid.
